Book Review: Gratitude
Summary: 5 Stars

Reviewed by Jennifer Woodard for Reader Views (11/06)

"You Are What You Love" is a long book, almost 400 pages and repetitive. It is understandable that when teaching a new way of thinking, the author must repeat the information for the reader to understand, digest and accept the information. The problem is the repetitiveness of the information can become boring and cause the reader to put the book down, PLEASE DON'T.

This book has a lot of useful information. The premise of this book is that what you keep your mind focused on is what you will have in your life. We as humans operate with two types of consciousness, the spiritual conscious and the ego conscious. The author refers to the spiritual conscious as Heaven and the ego conscious as Hell. We can cause our living here on earth to be either Heaven or Hell by our thoughts. What we think about is what we love.

So how does this work? The ego (Hell) wants to keep of thinking of the past or future. To believe that we are not good enough, smart enough, just plain old not enough. The spiritual (Heaven) wants us to keep our thoughts in the present, that we are enough and God creates us perfect just as we are. That what we are experiencing in life is a direct reflection of that we keep on our minds. If we are constantly thinking about bills, ill health, or failures we will always have these things in our life. We will always project outward what we are feeling inward.

If we want to change our circumstances we must remain in the present and be grateful for what we have. We cannot serve two masters, Heaven or Hell, we must choose one. If we spend our time thinking about what we are grateful for here and now, we will expand our consciousness of love and goodness and draw more of the same to us. If we constantly think about the good things in our life and give love, honest and trust to the universe, we will receive the same.

We have to learn the art of forgiveness and move on from things of the past. We have to learn the art of letting go and moving on. When we spend our time being thankful, we will not have time to think about the things that we feel are not right in our lives. When you spend your time being grateful you are serving one master, the master of Heaven who is capable of meeting all of our needs and offers an infinite supply of abundance, just waiting for us to acknowledge and accept it. We must remain conscious of our thoughts at all times, and when we find ourselves thinking of Hell thoughts (inferiority, self-doubt, self-hatred, judgment of others) we must return out thoughts to Heaven (love, respect, trust, honesty).

Although "You Are What You Love" can take some getting though, it is well worth the effort. When you become thankful for what you have, the universe will give you more things to be thankful for. The author also provides a workbook and CD to help the readers move from thoughts of Hell to thoughts of Heaven.

Summary of You Are What You Love

You Are What You Love makes Eastern mysticism friendly to the Western mind. Author Vaishali, an intellectual, yet highly irreverent mystic, magically mixes concepts and story-telling from such traditional sources as Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Sufism, with the ancient mystic, Emmanuel Swedenborg, as well as with unconventional sources, from Groucho Marx, to Cheech and Chong, Jimi Hendrix, James Dean, and Homer Simpson. Is your mind your best friend or your worst enemy? You Are What You Love empowers readers to befriend their minds and resolve their issues, instead of defending and justifying the limitation in their lives. How is it that we come to love what is self- destructive and disabling? Demonstrating how to transform limiting beliefs, You Are What You Love delivers the secret to finding happiness and one's purpose - especially for those who have hit a pothole on the road to enlightenment. One of the most powerful points of the book is that "we do not have love, we are love. We don't earn it; we don't have to justify it; we don't have to wait until others decide we are good enough; we claim it because we are it." Dannion Brinkley, the best selling author of Saved By The Light, calls You Are What You Love, "brilliant," stating that Vaishali has the most original slant on spirituality he has ever read.
